A friend and I recently tried to get MX2NET20 to work without success.
This is a collection of programs that allow you to access a remote
computer's drive locally through the MIDI or RS232 ports.
We tried everything imaginable but were unable to get ANYTHING
transfered between the computers. We were using the MIDI ports at first
and then tried the RS232 ports at 19,200 and 9600 baud. No luck. The
only thing we DID manage to do is make the computers BEEP when we ran
the MX2NET program.. sigh..
We were using a mono 1040ST and a colour Mega ST. Before anyone asks,
the MIDI cables were hooked up correctly, and my null modem connector
works beautifully (we verified this with a terminal program).
I know there are several commercial networks out there (SGS and Lantech
come to mind), but I don't want to spend gobs and gobs of money just
to network two computers.
The reason I'd like this to work is that we are working on a big project
and would like to have the source files stored on one place. Does
anyone know if RCS (revision control system) is available in one form
or another for the ST? ?? ?
oh yes, I got MX2NET20 from terminator.cc.umich.edu.
thanks for any help ,
